TVLine has confirmed that Jorge Garcia, who played Hurley to Grace’s Shannon on ABC’s freaky-island drama, will guest-star opposite the blonde beauty in an episode of the Showtime series’ sixth season, premiering in early 2013.

Grace herself is joining Californication for a nine-episode arc as Faith, a former Catholic schoolgirl who upon being exposed to the “evils” of rock and roll turned into a groupie-slash-muse to elite recording artists. When viewers meet Faith, she’ll fall into a friendship-turned-more with Hank — and, possibly, eventually get spun off into her own series.

Garcia in turn will pop up as “an old contact from Faith’s past,” I am told. His casting was first revealed by Grace, who tweeted a photo of the pair on set.

Since Lost signed off, Garcia has guested on shows such as Fringe and starred on last season’s Alcatraz.Follow @MattMitovich
